Hi it's been over 20 years since I had a fish tank. My dad gave me his 20 gallon tall tank. I'm 6 days into the cycle. Only one thing in the tank is a moss ball gravel substate and a few plastic plants and one silk. Ben testing water no real changes yet. A little amonia but not bad nitrites show 0 and nitrates show very little. Anything u can think I need to do with it?
New 20 gallon tank have lots of questions!

You've got a long way to go but you're on your cycling way. Test often, your moss isn't going to help much if at all; plastic plants, not at all.
Try to keep ammonia at 2 ppm & be patient, it's going take 4 + weeks to get to "cycled": when you can safely add fish. Test!!
